Gausman (9-9) threw five shutout innings, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out five as he notched the victory Sunday against Miami.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman cruised through five innings of work, allowing just two batters to reach base. He's looked sharp on the hill since being traded from the Marlins prior to the deadline, owning a 4-1 record and surrendering six runs across 32 innings while fanning 22 (five starts). He'll carry a 3.87 ERA and 1.28 WHIP with 126 punchouts through 156 innings into his next start Saturday against the Pirates.

Gausman (8-9) earned the win against the Pirates on Tuesday, striking out five and scattering four hits and two walks across eight scoreless innings.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman gave up two hits and a walk during the sixth inning, but was otherwise dominant in Pittsburgh on Tuesday. The 27-year-old has now allowed only six runs and 20 hits over 27 innings during his four starts since being acquired by the Braves at the non-waiver trade deadline. Gausman currenlty lines up to start next Tuesday against Tampa Bay.

Gausman's next outing has been moved to Tuesday versus Pittsburgh with Bryse Wilson starting Monday's series opener, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per Bowman, Gausman was told about the change Sunday night. This switch allows the club to move each member of the rotation back a day, which isn't completely surprising given that the Braves are about to play their 17th game in the past 15 days.

Gausman (6-9) picked up the win in Friday's 10-1 victory over the Brewers, allowing one run on six hits over eight innings while striking out eight.
EDGE Analysis
The Braves jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first inning and never looked back, but Gausman didn't need the extra run support he was given. The right-hander pounded the strike zone, throwing 71 of 94 pitches for strikes, and he'll take a 4.27 ERA into his next start Wednesday at home against the Marlins.

Gausman is scheduled to make his first start with the Braves on Saturday against the Mets, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It initially appeared that Gausman's Braves debut would come Friday, but he ended up getting pushed back a day in the pitching schedule after Wednesday's game against the Marlins was postponed. Gausman, who went 5-8 with a 4.43 ERA and 1.38 WHIP across 124 innings with the Orioles prior to being acquired by Braves on Tuesday, is slated to oppose Mets ace Jacob deGrom in his first outing on the Senior Circuit.

Gausman is in line to start Friday's game against the Mets, Kevin McAlpin of 680 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
This will keep Gausman on normal rest after he pitched Saturday during his final outing in an Orioles' jersey. Across 21 starts with Baltimore this year, he logged a 4.43 ERA and 1.38 WHIP with a 7.5 K/9.

Gausman was traded from the Orioles to the Braves on Tuesday for an undisclosed package, Jon Heyman of FancredSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
A former elite pitching prospect, Gausman has never quite lived up to the hype, as he currently sits with a 4.43 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 104:32 K:BB in 124 innings (21 starts). That said, this trade can only be good for his fantasy value, as he moves from the American League East to the National League, and will benefit from significantly better defense and run support behind him. He is under team control for 2019 and 2020 after this season, so the prospect package heading to Baltimore figures to be pretty decent. Gausman was scheduled to pitch Friday for the O's, so he could slot into the Braves' rotation this weekend.

Gausman (4-7) allowed five runs on 12 hits and a walk in five innings Thursday, taking the loss against the Phillies. He struck out just two batters and gave up a home run.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman had allowed three or fewer runs in his last six starts, but simply couldn't find a groove against Philadelphia. However, he's given up a homer in five straight starts, striking out five or fewer in each of those outings. Gausman will take his 4.33 ERA to Toronto next Saturday.

Gausman did not factor in the decision Tuesday, allowing three runs on five hits over five innings during the 5-4 loss the the Twins. He struck out five and walked one.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman was cruising until the the fifth inning, when he allowed three runs on four hits and a walk, effectively ending his afternoon. The 27-year-old has been solid across his last six outings with a 3.13 ERA and 1.15 WHIP, and lines up to face the Phillies at home Thursday.

He's been outstanding over his last five outings, surrendering three runs or fewer across 32.1 innings.
